Winter 19th & 20th c. Glass and Lighting Auction

William T. Gillinder purchased the Franklin Flint Glass Works, Philadelphia in 1861. It would eventually be renamed Gillinder and Sons. The company saw a major success at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition of 1876 where they showcased many frosted glass pieces. The technique became popular during the last quarter of the 19th century. Around the same time, the company introduced a new pattern that featured several sculpted lions in frosted glass. Highlighted in the upcoming Winter 19th & 20th Century Glass and Lighting Auction offered by Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates is an example of this lion-patterned glass. The auction also includes sugar and salt shakers, opalescent glass, a collection of Duncan swans, Italian millefiori, and more.

Among the key lots of this sale is a Burmese vase made by the Mt. Washington Glass Co. This 18th-century vase is decorated with flowers, leaves, and buds. A three face Duncan & Sons cylindrical ribbed cracker jar is another highlight of the sale.  To view the complete catalog and register to bid online, visit Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates.
